Right, enough of those Jambos and their humiliating loss and subsequent Pandora's box of problems brewing in its wake...not really.
But do let's get focused on the game tomorrow v the Pars. We have a recent history of following a big performance and result with a poor, laboured, sleepy and uninspired one, and we obviously have to hope Hibs show their Hearts-Dundee United side, rather than their Raith-Ayr one at the stadium tomorrow. A big opportunity to make further progress as United play Morton earlier in the day, a tough fixture for both.
As we have a late kick-off, I'm anticipating a rush for tickets on Saturday morning, which are actually selling quite well, with only isolated seats in most of the yellow zones:

It'll be a tough task. Championship teams generally don't pussy out as much as Hearts, and I don't expect a similar capitulation from the Pars.
2-1 Hibs.
Now to get back to the other threads which deal with Hearts and their wild and wacky antics...

I think it'll be a big crowd for this after Wednesday, 15/16K with maybe 800 Dunfermline fans.
If we get an early goal then I expect it'll be a comfortable victory.PERSEVERE

I reckon we'll get around 13.5k on Saturday.
If you'd told me that we'd have around 34k over 2 games in a week last year I'd have had you locked up.
We have well and truly turned a huge corner.

Can't get on to the ticket site just now. Up to 30 minute wait.
Either were selling a lot of tickets or there's a lot of dot-counters online.

I think we'll break 16k.
Any win will do me. Even a 1-0 with little action. Teams know they will get turned over if they don't sit and keep it tight so it's no suprise we've seen a lot of dour wins this season.
Looking forward to an afternoon on the piss watching SSN, hopefully followed by some Cabbage goals.
Who's counting the dots?

Will be interesting to see what team we put out. Assuming there may be a few with bumps and bruises who may start on the bench. Wouldnt expect Holt to start given the effort he put in on Wednesday and his age however would definitely have Boyle on as he gives us a different dimension with his directness and pace. Need to get on the front foot from the start and an early goal would help. Need to be patient though as totally different game to Wednesday.

I'll be more than disappointed if we don't turn up for this one. Hopefully lessons have been learned recently and that Lennon has them really up for it. We all know that teams that park the bus can be difficult to break down, but we've done ok against Dunfermline and if we get stuck into them from the off, I see us winning comfortably.

The players will be more than aware, that as far as the boss is concerned, the showing against Hearts is the rule and not the exception.

We have to try and stretch Dunfermline. As others have said teams in this league come to ER and sit in and try to nick what they can on the break, so we need to make the pitch as big as possible and move the ball as quickly as possible. So .... Boyle MUST play. Humphrey would have been in my team for this game too , if fit, but clearly he won't be. The most important aspect is to start the game quickly and with intent, as we did against hearts. Early goal would settle the game down nicely.

Super John McGinn drove us onto victory on Wed and I expect him to do so again. I hope Lennon leaves the front pairing unchanged. This is now the time for big Holt to go on a scoring run!

Anyway...a win...of any time is important. Dundee Utd play Morton...hopefully a draw there...
Hopefully fans turn out once again - the guys deserve it after Wednesday's derby win.

We must win this. I don't know what Lennon is going to say to them if we drop a point or whatever! He'll possibly get the hair dryer out!

Surprisingly, Dunfermline have lost only one of their last 14 games in all competitions.
Get ready for another "park the bus" afternoon/evening. It's important Hibs score first, and don't allow the opposition to score first as in our last two league matches.Last edited by emerald green; 24-02-2017 at 05:23 PM.

They have given us 2 really tough games so far this season - was at both and they won't show us any respect.
Wednesday must have taken a lot out the players mentally so hopefully Lennon has them in the right mindset.
Next 7 days are huge...3 points tomorrow...3 points midweek away from home and QF next Saturday (hopefully a win and semi final to look forward to).

I thought Daz was suspended for this game?

This is where we throw down a marker that the level of performance against hearts is the rule rather than the exception.
We should blow them out the water.

Wonder if Lennon will make the odd change or 2 tomorrow. Remember we have a game again on Wednesday. Can't see Holt playing 3 games in a week
